Photo Diary: November

1. Even though I got the mums at the end of October, I enjoyed them throughout November. Mostly I was fighting to keep them alive, but they were so pretty while they lasted!

2. For one of my outfit of the days we ended up finding this really pretty park that had the best views. I love the trees and everything in the fall, the colors are so pretty :)

3. I have been using the heck out of this Essence eyeshadow that I talked about in a previous post, here. It is so pretty and subtle and good when you're in a hurry because you can't really mess up with it!

4. My Mom came to visit me for Thanksgiving because I had to work and wasn't able to go home, but the first night she came we went to this Hibachi restaurant and it was SO delicious. I've never gotten so much food at a Hibachi place before!

5. This was my boyfriend and I at the Hibachi restaurant. I look like a ghost but other than that, I liked the picture! :)

6. I posted this picture on Instagram of my dog, Charlie (she's a girl, yes we spell it the way you would for a boy). My mom told me she had a surprise for me and she brought out this picture. I can't believe that she sat still for that, and even smiled!

7. More food pictures! My Mom and I went to a Mexican restaurant that I'd never been to and I always order the same thing when I go to Mexican restaurants because I know I'm going to enjoy it, but this time, I decided to get taquitos (with some cheese sprinkled on the top, because I LOVE cheese) and I was pretty pleased with it :)

8. Since it was just my Mom and I for Thanksgiving we didn't go all out (there was still a ton of food, believe me) but we made two pumpkin pies and the one in the front has a pecan, brown sugar and butter mixture on the top, which is really the best of both worlds because I adore pumpkin pie AND pecan pie.

9. I have been wanting to get the classic Christmas movies on DVD for a couple of years now and on black Friday we went to Walmart and got this set for $9.95! It comes with 3 main movies and has 3 others on it as well, so it was a great deal! My Mom and I already watched our favorites :)

So that was pretty much my month of November! The last six pictures are really from the last week because November wasn't all that eventful for me. I have some Christmas themed posts coming up in the next couple of days and my birthday is tomorrow so I'm really excited about that! My birthday always sneaks up on me because it's right after Thanksgiving and when I was in college it was always on finals week so I was preoccupied!

I just started decorating for Christmas the day before Thanksgiving and I feel like I'm kind of late! I'll be going home the week of Christmas so I'll really only get to enjoy the decorations for 3 weeks, but it's worth it and I'll probably leave them up until January, shhhh ;)

I hope this wasn't too boring of a post and I hope you all had fabulous months of November and Thanksgivings if you celebrate it :)
